Oso Washington  49 peeps perished and 45 homes destroyed happened mid morning so probably a good amount of people at work that kept the fatalities down I happened to drive by there last year.

Data chasers are always behind and miss the most meaningful appreciation events. 

Ingress and Egress and drive thru capability are a must have. 

I’ve found a distressed property while driving & I want to contact the owner but they are not living in the property.

To afford pay-by-the-night rooms (room rates are up 37% since 2021), some evicted renters scrape together extra money, sometimes for only $2 an order, driving for apps like Grubhub or DoorDash—essential jobs in the eviction economy.

Alternatively you can invest in better neighborhoods, perhaps be forced to leave some of your cash in the real estate but experience meaningful appreciation or if you choose to sell, be able to turn the forced appreciation into cash in your bank account.

Dear BiggerPockets community,I have a PhD in Theoretical Chemistry/Quantum Dynamics... https://pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/article/142/24/244112/74387 ... and I literally designed and built my own house off of 30A in Florida ... https://www.scenicsir.com/homes/242-Blue-Gulf-Drive/Santa-Ro... ....

But the way I see it is that, in general, someone who is new to the business and is looking to break in and grow will have barriers that can likely drive them out of REI.If it were up to me, I would just let the market dictate the rents and it will find equilibrium on its own.

You should have someone local who can drive by to check on the property, respond to emergencies, conduct regular inspections, etc.

You have to just commit to doing the lead generation 5-6 days a week (social posts, door knocking, talk to people you know, talk to people you don't know, host open houses for agents in your office, drive for FSBO's, etc) until you have planted so many "seeds" that they result in business.
